Man I dont know, Riles is 67 now and hasn't coached since 2008.

Does he really want to deal with these personalities?

I heard the idea by an analyst on XM a while back. Kinda makes sense. People have said for two years Miami wont win it until they get a Tyson Chandler type big in the middle. Would be an easy six to make in the offseason that would be overlooked by James Wade and Riley. Makes him look like this great coach.

I've gotta say Lebron just acts like he doesnt WANT it. You know when CP, Kobe and Durant want the damn ball. Lebron just plays so passive when his team needs him to step up. Also Wade played atrocious tonight.

LeBron is a phenomenal bball player, he just doesn't have the killer instinct of MJ, Magic, Bird, Kobe, etc.

Also, the more I watch Wade the less I like him. He is arrogant, whiney, & a poor teammate.

agreed. I don't doubt Lebron's talent, just his heart. I really think he could have benefited from going to college for a couple years to grow up. He just acts like a spoiled boy. When things are going great he is great, when he has to face adversity he shuts down.

I'm disappointed in D-Wade I really liked him. I think this whole situation has changed him for the worse.

LeBron James was crowned the king & told he was the chosen one at 17 years of age. You can't put that kind of pressure on a kid. Part of the blame belongs to the media. Everyone told him he was the next MJ before he even finished high school. Nobody can live up to that pressure.

I always thought Wade was one of the good guys. But watching him this year he seems like a completetool.

I love watching James just casually walk around at the end of games, because he doesn't want the ball. The guy isn't clutch and never will be. He is also a prick, I've heard stories and seen them myself. He calls kids bitches, tells them to fug off. He is a scum bag and I hope he never sees a championship. He didn't realize how good he had it in Cleveland, they ignored stories and made him out to be a great guy. Miami won't do that for him and neither will the Riley.

Lebron had a good game. His boy Wade didn't hold up his end of the bargain, and the rest of the Heat players, except Chalmers, weren't hitting their open shots.

Not a Lebron fan, but I don't think the blowout should be put on him. Wade didn't show up today, and hasn't really done much this series.

No....LeBron had a good "First Half".

When the Pacers turned up the intesity, LeBron (once again) disappeared and folded. Guy has immense talent....but no moxy and heart.

I'm still baffled at Wade. I believe he's regressing and his body is deteriorating. He just doesn't look right and his jump shot has gotten worse through the years. He played all out earlier in his career and it's catching up. I believe Rose is on this same path as well.

Coach Spo should've sat him down when he bowed up in his face. I would've

I agree with you about Durant and this series. This thing going 7 games, but if Miami loses Sunday, then they're gonna quit game 5. I think it'll be celtics/OKC also

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Dwyane Wade says the Miami Heat have moved on from Game 3 when he had his public spat with coach Erik Spoelstra.

Following the team's practice Saturday, Wade chalked up his heated sideline exchange in the third quarter of a 94-75 blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers with Spoelstra as ''emotional and in the heat of the battle.'' Wade said it wasn't his first exchange with Spoelstra ''and it won't be the last.''

Wade said the Heat ''are a family, a team'' and have moved past any turmoil as they get ready for Game 4 on Sunday.

The Heat didn't practice Friday. Wade, who scored just five points in Game 3, took advantage of the time away from the floor to visit Indiana coach Tom Crean, his college coach at Marquette.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
